‘An Evening With Barroux and Sarah Ardizzone’ at Waterstones Piccadilly, London

Almost a century after it was written, French writer and artist Barroux discovered the diary of a First World War soldier in a Paris skip. This is a story in itself, but Barroux took the searingly honest and moving diary entries and translated them into an unforgettable graphic novel, now published in English as Line of Fire, with an introduction by Michael Morpurgo.

Join him, in conversation with award-winning translator Sarah Ardizzone, to discuss finding, illustrating and translating the diary, and watch as Barroux creates some of his beautiful illustrations live on stage.
